According to Naghmeh Abedini, she is set to meet with President Barack Obama during his visit to Boise following his State of the Union address.

She says Saeed was imprisoned in Iran for his Christian beliefs.
"Actually, people don't understand that he didn't break the law," said Naghmeh. "According to Iran's own admission he didn't break the law. They encouraged Saeed to come back and build an orphanage. When they convicted him to eight years in prison they didn't say he broke any law. They went back to 13 years earlier when he became a Christian.

"Boise has a great opportunity to reach the president and to come out and show their support for one of their own," Abedini told KTVB on Saturday.
On her Facebook page Abedini asks others around the state to head to the BSU campus on Wednesday to show that support. She asks people to wear the color yellow and to hold a "Free Saeed" sign. She is also urging pastors to announce the call for support in their churches this weekend.
I pray to God Pastor Saeed is freed very soon. I saw his wife and 2 small children on TV a few months ago. They miss him terribly.
Maybe she’s gonna tell Bath House that her husband converted to islam (so that BH will do something).
I just REFUSED to listen to the Obungler's SOTU. I can not hear him, because my head might explode. On there other hand, I did learn to ski better at Bogus Basin.
If she is going to meet him in person, Pastor Saeed’s wife needs our prayers for that hedge of protection - he will try to demon slime her.
